Hi

I'd like to ask - what sector size do you use in dm-crypt? Could the issue 
be fixed just by using the smallest possible 512-byte sectors?

What I/O method does qemu use? Is it direct i/o + aio? What is unaligned - 
the base address? Or length? Or the sector number? Could you use strace on 
qemu and show an example of an I/O that fails due to alignment?
